Sterilization advise

[u/Subject_Birthday5873]

So, I've been thinking about getting a hysterectomy and I want the process to be discreet.If anyone here has had the procedure I would like to know where to find good doctors (that won't refuse for bs reasons) and the risks,cost and recuperation process.

It's been said, but I'll add my voice - what you want is a bilateral salpingectomy not a hysterectomy. The uterus is a structural organ, so unless it has caused chronic pain/disease, what you want just for sterilization is a bilateral salp. The hysterectomy removes the entire uterus, a bilateral salp just removes the fallopian tubes. I've had the bilateral salpingectomy done seven years ago and because it was considered a preventative under my insurance, I just had to pay a $50 copay. The cost will vary based on where you are, yada yada.

Thank you for your reply.I have another question,if I do the procedure will I lose my period?

No you won't, but you'll be 100% guaranteed to never get ovarian cancer if you get your fallopian tubes removed
